That color looks unique! Cannot wait until you post more. Looks like you did some pretty significant metal work and it turned out pretty good. Congrats!

That paint looks great nice work! I have never been a fan of the solid Sage Green, but this two tone looks pretty damn good! You may have changed my mind Smile

"Interesting roof vent you've got there." Yes the roof vent is interesting, it is a US standard RV 12" roof vent made by Elixir, and cost about 60 USD.

"Just a ballpark , but how much in paint ?" I can tell you this it was worth the cost. And when the paint is final, I may "ballpark" the cost.

"I have never been a fan of the solid Sage Green" here is something to ponder. What color green was chosen? I will only say it is a Volkswagen color.

The so72 was missing the jump-seat, because "Floyd" built a stand-up wardrobe, where the seat would have been.

So I built this jump-seat. made using birch laminated to plywood, and bonded using epoxy.
